Kwik-Seal
Kwik-Seal additive is a blend of granular, flake, and fibrous materials designed primarily to stop lost circulation in a wide range of conditions with water-based drilling fluids. To function effectively over the widest range of lost circulation conditions, Kwik-Seal additive is available in the following three grinds:
- Coarse grind
- Medium grind
- Fine grind
Application
For the control and elimination of circulation due to fractures, highly permeable zones or broken unconsolidated formations . KWIK-SEAL is more effective than other products in sealing loss zones, regardless of the type of lost circulation.
Recommended treatment
KWIK-SEAL (coarse) is recommended for the sealing of very large fractures . It should be used with open water course bits or an open ended drill pipe and spotted opposite the loss zone . A slug containing 30 to 40 ppb (85 to 114 kg/m3) of product is usually sufficient.
KWIK-SEAL (medium) seals medium to fine fractures and porous zones. It can be used with jet bits and a concentration of between 10 to 15 ppb (26 to 43 kg/m3) is recommended.
KWIK-SEAL (fine) should be used as a preventive material for sealing fine fractures and porous formations . A concentration if between 3 to 6 ppb (8.5 to 17 kg/m3) is recommended. It will not plug shale shaker screens.
Packaging
KWIK-SEAL is packaged in 25 / 50 Kg bags. Customized packaging is also available on request.
